we don'ttt gottt spirit

at my school, there's this "golden throne" thing going on and it's like this stupid rivalry with the town across the river. city, more like it. we're the town. and there's this award type thing for spirit? it's a toilet painted gold. stupid, like i said. and the basketball game, the golden throne game, with this high school nemesis. I went to the game last year, which so much people attend they have to house it at the local college gym. spent most of the time there trying to find my friends, the few that are, and standing in line at concessions. we won the spirit award, anyway. yaay.
there's this spirit week that precedes the game, and dress up days. which get lamer as the year goes by.
for instance, this year : monday-pajama day. not bad of a day. i'm lazy but i refuse to wear pajamas all day, it makes me physically ill. tuesday- dress like it's summer/nerd day. i take offense here now. first off, the weather here. it's fucking awful. snow, rain, cold, we get pretty bad stuff in january. what the fuck, school council? and as a nerd (i think one of the qualifications is "you own one or more star trek paraphenilia." and i own books and a tee.) i take offense. seriously, with the stereotyping. not as bad as redneck day. Yes. Redneck day. The preppy spirit kids who dress up and cheer and go to games, mostly cheerleaders, sports kids and student council are, like, the only kids who dress up. Also, they're practically retards. Nerds, according to these kids are ill-dressed, wear their hair in pigtails all the goddamn time or have a stupid part in their hair, wear suspenders and have tape on their glasses! Oh, what wit! An 80's stereotype of nerds! So refreshing. I was discussing this with a classmate and we both said: Steve Urkel. Jesus Christ. And the kids who dressed up as summer soon came to regret it. Bwaha. Dumbasses.
As for my effort, I wore my shirt that has the cardiovascular system in all its glory and correct placement, shirt-wise to organ-wise. And my Jayne hat. I use my Jayne hat (cunning, ind'nt?) as a test to figure out if my friends/peers are Firefly fans. It didn't work. I did get a lot of compliments, though. Love this hat.
There's this sign, at my school, all these spirit signs, one of these says "WE GOTTT SPIRIT." I fuck you not. GOTTT. Three ts. I have started many a conversation with people, inquiring about this. Heather thinks it means to be like, held out. It's hard to translate over text. Like we GOT spirit. Okay, I say, then why not do many o's? Or just make it big? Or screw it and make some goddamn clever signs? If they did many o's it would be GOOT. Not...any better.
I've been crocheting an octopus. I need to sew finish sewing his legs on. But Scott Bakula is distracting me. I just got Quantum Leap Season 1 AND 2. It is literally controlling my life. Or, at least, my crocheting. Better go finish Mr. Octopus and start Mr. Penguin or Mr. Panda. Apparently, I can't make female amigurumi. Oy.
